When reversing out of a parking space, turning the steering wheel is as follows: 1. Observe the frontmost part of the car and the boundary line ahead. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left when the front of the car just covers the boundary line. 2. Look at the left rear wheel through the left rearview mirror. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left when the left rear wheel just touches the line. 3. When the car is about to straighten, turn the steering wheel back half a turn. Let the car move forward for about one meter, then turn the steering wheel fully to the left again until reaching the stopping point. Reversing: 1. First exit: Drive slowly and straight. When you see the left rear wheel touching the line in the left rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the left (one and a half turns) until the car body roughly aligns with the path, then hold the steering wheel steady. 2. Second exit: Drive slowly and straight. When you see the right rear wheel touching the line in the right rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the right (one and a half turns). When the car body is almost parallel to the path, turn the steering wheel back half a turn, and fully straighten it when completely parallel.

What is the difference between commercial-to-private vehicles and private cars?

Commercial-to-private vehicles and private cars mainly differ in terms of scrapping age limits and annual inspection periods. Commercial-to-private vehicles primarily refer to retired taxis converted to local license plates. After conversion, these vehicles still have a usage period of 8 years, meaning they are mandatorily scrapped 8 years from the date of manufacture without further annual inspections or extended scrapping periods. In contrast, private cars have no usage age limit and are only mandatorily scrapped when they reach the maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers. For commercial-to-private sedans, within 5 years, they require annual inspections once a year; after exceeding 5 years, inspections are required every 6 months. Private cars are generally exempt from inspections for the first 6 years, but owners must apply for an inspection compliance mark at designated vehicle management offices, motor vehicle registration service stations, or traffic police squadrons within specified periods and affix it to the upper right corner of the front windshield.

What documents are required for a motorcycle to be on the road?

Motorcycles on the road need to display license plates and carry the vehicle registration certificate and driver's license. The following are precautions for motorcycle riding: 1. Driving on dirt roads: When riding on dirt roads, it is necessary to reduce speed because dirt roads are always uneven, so high-speed riding will cause severe vehicle bumps, shortening the vehicle's service life. 2. Uphill driving: If there is a sharp turn or unclear road after going uphill, you can first accelerate to climb the slope, then slow down when approaching the top of the slope, and continue driving after clearly seeing the road. 3. Driving on sandy roads: When riding on sandy roads, due to the soft surface of the sandy road, the rolling resistance is high when the vehicle passes through, and the wheels may sway left and right with unstable handlebars. Therefore, it is necessary to slow down in advance and avoid using emergency brakes.

What are the reasons for the fuel pump not working and the car not starting?

There are several reasons why the fuel pump may not work and the car cannot start, including poor electrical circuit and insufficient fuel supply. The specific details are as follows: Caused by poor electrical circuit: Solution: When the circuit is poor, directly use a multimeter or test light to connect to the plug. If the light turns on when starting the motor, it indicates there is power; if not, it indicates a circuit fault. Caused by insufficient fuel supply: Solution: It is necessary to promptly check whether the fuel in the tank is too low. If it is, replenish it in time. Caused by blockage by foreign objects: Solution: The assembly needs to be disassembled and cleaned. If the problem persists, it is usually due to a clogged filter screen under the fuel pump. A faulty fuel pump can cause low fuel pressure, and the fuel pump needs to be replaced.

Why does the old Jetta have small displacement but strong power?

Here are the specific reasons: 1. Lightweight body: Due to technological limitations, the old Jetta era didn't have many fancy configurations, resulting in lower body weight. Models like Urban Spring, Urban Sunshine, and Avant-Garde had a curb weight of around 1,100 kg, at least 200 kg lighter than most modern compact cars. 2. Transmission differences: The old Jetta mostly used manual transmissions, so acceleration speed largely depended on the driver's skill. Modern cars mostly use automatic transmissions tuned for smooth starts, making the old Jetta appear faster in acceleration. 3. Engine differences: Similar to transmissions, modern car engines are tuned to prioritize smooth starts, naturally limiting initial power output. The old Jetta's cable throttle engine was relatively simpler and more aggressive - it would deliver full power output whenever the accelerator was pressed.

What is the internal structure of a motorcycle exhaust muffler?

Motorcycle exhaust pipe internal structure mainly consists of a muffler. Principle of exhaust pipe noise reduction: Motorcycle exhaust pipes primarily use porous sound-absorbing materials to reduce noise. By fixing the sound-absorbing materials to the inner walls of the airflow channel or arranging them in a certain pattern within the pipe, a resistive muffler is formed. When sound waves enter the resistive muffler, part of the sound energy is converted into heat energy through friction in the pores of the porous material, dissipating it and thereby weakening the sound waves passing through the muffler. Principle of noise reduction: Straight pipes do not have internal baffles or similar structures, only external sound-absorbing cotton to block some noise. Exhaust gases are discharged directly without obstruction, causing violent expansion and producing explosive sounds, commonly known as noise. Additionally, due to the longer overlap time of intake and exhaust valves at low RPM, the mixture in the combustion chamber may flow out. The large and open design of straight pipes naturally slows down the exhaust gas flow at low RPM.

What are the differences between US-spec and China-spec vehicles?

The differences between US-spec and China-spec vehicles are as follows: 1. Different configurations: US-spec vehicles are mostly produced based on personalized orders according to the needs of the owners. Consumers generally choose additional features on top of a basic configuration, which also results in US-spec vehicles usually having fewer standard features compared to China-spec vehicles (features like xenon headlights, adjustable suspension, and sunroof are often standard in China-spec luxury vehicles but usually optional in US-spec models). 2. Different performance: US traffic regulations place greater emphasis on vehicle safety performance. Equipment related to personal safety, such as tire pressure monitoring systems, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) systems, are mandatory installations for vehicles. In China, as of now, there are no mandatory installation standards for ABS. 3. Different displays: The display interface of US-spec models is in English, while China-spec models have fully localized Chinese interfaces. However, this difference is not absolute, as some dealers may localize the display interface.
